Michael’s approach to acupuncture is grounded in his martial arts and meditation practice. He has trained in Dachengquan, Plum Blossom Praying Mantis Kung Fu and Yang Tai Chi since 2015 as a disciple to Master Wang Rengang. In his treatments Michael works to integrate the mind and body, and to harmonize the inner human universe with the outer universe.

 

Michael is passionate about providing holistic health care to the North Country. He believes Oriental Medicine can work hand in hand with modern medicine by activating the body’s innate healing mechanisms.

What is Yu Dayi method?

Michael is trained in a style of classical acupuncture that has been time-tested through 17 generations of continuous practice in the Yu family lineage by his mentor, Dr. Shoubin Yu. His family’s method is from Muping County, China, home of legendary 12th century Daoist physician, Ma Danyang, who was famous for using less acupoints with refined needling technique. Similarly, the Yu Dayi method uses traditional acupoints on the scalp, arms and legs paired with special Tuina (Chinese massage) techniques in a system that is safe, effective, and complex in it’s simplicity.
